Re: What rainwear era do you associate with?

Ultimately I would have to say the 50's. They knew how to do slickers and sou'westers then, plus you had, for boys, the rubber slickers and the "helmets." I would take the sixties next, foe the Mary Quant etc. vinyl. There wee slight comebacks in the 80's. But nowadays, for the most part, ...
